preparatory classes for IELTS / TOEFL / CAE / CPE exams

From 71.75 $ /h

I graduated from the University of Athens where I attended courses in pedagogics, psychology, and linguistics.

I worked at a language center between 2009-2016 where I was a director of studies and taught mainly English as a foreign/second language. Since 2005, when I first started teaching English, I have taught children and adults on a variety of language proficiency levels and with a variety of needs (general knowledge/terminology/for specific purposes), both individually and in groups.

I constantly seek progress, meaning that I study further through reading books/articles concerning didactics/methodology and learning difficulties (chiefly dyslexia), observing other teachers as well as attending seminars (online or face-to-face).

I will help you learn weird English spelling and pronunciation with fun. I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary.

During my lessons I use :
- Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you,
- Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep,
- sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc.
- books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc.
- pronunciation/spelling/grammar games,
- authentic materials were taken from websites.

I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective and close to real-life needs as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to obtain certificates, I am very demanding.

What can I teach?
- I would love to help you improve/develop all language skills (speaking/writing-listening/reading + grammar/vocabulary/pronunciation),
- I would love to help you prepare for certificates such as IELTS / TOEFL / CAE-ALCE / CPE-ECPE,
- I would love to help you with homework and assignments (literature, history) from school and university (but please contact me about that IN ADVANCE).

I am passionate about teaching and you will see it in the course of our lessons as they will be fun, yet very effective and as close to real life as possible. I am multilingual which means I have learned a lot of languages and this, in turns, helps me spot/understand the troublesome parts you will probably be going through - and I will do my best to facilitate it for you.

I am scholastic when it comes to correcting HW and leave a lot of comments, so you can understand what you did wrong.

I use a variety of materials (books/articles/youtube/quizlet, etc.) in the teaching process.
I have helped a lot of students achieve their goals (prepare efficiently for an interview, get FCE/CPE/IELTS, etc.) or simply have an interesting conversation with the view to improving pronunciation/grammar.

During the lesson we can use Skype/WhatsApp or any other communicator and Google Docs simultaneously for notes.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

I am Teacher Laarni, an ESL teacher who transforms language learning into a journey of confidence and connection. With nearly three years of experience guiding diverse learners, I don’t just teach English—I empower students to express themselves with clarity, composure, and purpose. My classroom is more than lessons; it’s a space where grammar meets warmth, where discipline meets encouragement, and where every student discovers their voice. Blending professionalism with empathy, I bring the best of both worlds: the precision of an educator and the heart of a mentor. For me, teaching English isn’t just about words—it’s about opening doors to opportunities, building bridges across cultures, and inspiring growth that lasts far beyond the classroom.
